Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage III Ovarian Epithelial Cancer

Study:

A PHASE III RANDOMIZED STUDY OF CISPLATIN (NSC #119875) AND TAXOL (PACLITAXEL) (NSC #125973) WITH INTERVAL SECONDARY CYTOREDUCTION VERSUS CISPLATIN AND PACLITAXEL IN PATIENTS WITH SUBOPTIMAL STAGE III & IV EPITHELIAL OVARIAN CARCINOMA

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug or combining chemotherapy with surgery may kill more tumor cells.

Purpose:

Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and cisplatin with or without surgery in treating patients with stage III ovarian epithelial cancer.
